“Wait,” you say. “Surely healthy, successful weight loss is a cause for celebration, not grief?”
Getting healthier is always a cause for celebration, but as No BS WeightLoss founder Corinne Crabtree tells us, “Grief is everywhere in weight loss.”
Friendships and relationships can change, even disappear, when one person in the relationship loses weight. Those who lose weight may suffer a totally unexpected change in identity, they may grieve the weight that protected them, they may mourn the loss of foods that provided comfort or some sort of emotional connection (grandma’s oatmeal-raisin cookies, anyone?)
Corinne knows that weight loss involves so much more
than increasing exercise and changing eating habits — there’s an
emotional journey to “choose who the next version of you
is.”
Will you keep choosing the same person over and over, even if
you’re not feeling right in that body and mind? Or will you choose
a version of you that feels closer to a goal?
And what losses do those choices bring with them?
In this episode, Grief Coach and Specialist Wendy Sloneker talks with Corinne Crabtree about the emotional changes (and blockades) we go through (or don’t) when we’re working to choose that different version of ourselves.
